6 Months ago this would have been boggy and impassable. Today I walked over the top of it, no problemo. I do wonder when we’ll actually get the next prolonged period of rain.

Meanwhile, back in the day job...
It wouldn't be spring without a good old moor fire. It must have seemed like a really good idea at the time to let off fireworks on a tinder dry moorland!
And just think of the ground nesting birds lost in this lot!
